Flannel Shrinkage - how much is "a lot"?
I have seen many posts saying that flannel shrinks "a lot".
How much do you consider to be "a lot"?
I have washed pieces of flannel (soaked in hot water for a couple of waters) and then washed and dried - and the shrinkage has been way less than for some "regular" quilting cottons.
I have soaked and washed Michael Miller jet black and that has shrunk over two inches in width - which I consider "a lot".
I have also had other nice looking and feeling cottons shrink over two inches in width.
I have also had fabrics that stayed the same - and a very few stretched a bit.
